I think my life would be easier if I was a single mom.

Devil's advocate opinion here, but I'd try to work it out. Talk to him about how you feel, maybe do counseling. It must be lonely for him as well to be away so often. It sounds like the main issue is the distance, and one of you (whoever is less attached to their current role) needs to start job hunting. You either need to move to where he works (with you going fully remote or getting a new job) or he needs to get a job where you live—or he needs to go remote. Instead of throwing away a marriage to preserve your two current job positions, having one of you change jobs to preserve and work on the marriage sounds like a much better outcome IMO. Do you both love your current jobs more than each other? Do you still love each other at all?

DP. Related to the above, does your DH have to pay for housing for those six months he is away?
